Confused about sub-keys.

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Hi,

Is it possible to store a sub-key separate from the "master" key (for
the purpose to store the master key off-line, and then only using the
sub-key for encryption, or something along those lines)?

>From what I can read in the GnuPG Handbook this should be possible
(section "Selecting expiration dates and using sub-keys", first
paragraph).  I can think of many situations where it would be very
handy to be able to store the master key (the one that collects
signatures) off-line and then use a sub-key to encrypt/sign documents
etc.

Cheers,
